For those who shifted to working remotely in 2020, a new normal may mean a return to the office. Already, many organizations have started requiring staff to return to their cubicles and conference rooms. Unfortunately, these changes spell O-P-P-O-R-T-U-N-I-T-Y for those who exploit vulnerabilities for fun, financial gain, or other, more nefarious, purposes.

We love streaming services because they are convenient and relatively inexpensive, at least individually. They provide us the ability to view what we want, when we want, but also some top-notch programming.

I thought I’d do an A to Z look at 2020, but honestly, like most of you, I’m tired and just want 2021 to get here. I don’t need fanfare. No glass of wine. No cocktail franks or cheesecake. No countdown to the ball dropping because, after all, what fun is…

That's by design, just like how I have webcam covers on the integrated cameras on my laptops, and how my preference is to opt out of apps that want access to the cameras on my smartphones even when it's unnecessary, meaning that access isn't tied to app functionality.
